Hunting for the Best Bagels in London With YidLife Crisis Comedy Duo (Britishkayt Part 1)


We've been following the Canadian comedy duo of Jamie Elman and Eli Batalion as they travel the world in search of funny situtations involving Yiddish culture, language, and food.
 
Their web series, YidLife Crisis, was recently nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for best original digital media series.

 
They have taken their act on the road, performing a live version of their show in Krakow, Tel Aviv, Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles and Birmingham, England.

 
The pair has also received a prestigious grant from the Natan Fund and have created a series of five travelogues featuring their impressions of Tel Aviv. In February we posted their funny Valentine’s Day episode guest staring Mayim Bialik.


Today we're touring London with Jamie and Eli as they search for the perfect bagel (or beigel as it's spelled in England). With the help of guide David Rosenberg they learn the history of "tailor-made" unionization in London's East End. 

(TO BE CONTINUED...) 

Enjoy!

  1. This is the third time in a row that the videos did not load. It seems you might be having a problem at your end, since it's only emails from you that are having this problem on my computer. Are you aware of this?

    1. It's definitely a problem with your system. The video works fine on my desktop, laptop, iPad, and smart phone. I have not received any other complaints. I can't help you if you are anonymous. If you want to identify yourself and contact me, I'll be happy to walk you through access using your system.

  2. Maybe you're not clicking on the blue title on the home page, which then takes you to the page where you can run the video.

  3. Certainly interesting. I could do without the annoying kleezma music which detracts from the story line.
